More more more more.

As you can see, the graphics are pretty good.  There are some alignment issues with the backgrounds (See In the Hunt's title screen, bottom, right hand side [water]).  Sound is also not perfect, but it is passable.

Lots of cleanup to do!

Do you have more?  lol. Seriously really nice work. I bet the GFX routines are a pain to port  :smilie:

I played a game of "what is something stupid you could have done" with JackC today in regards to Ninja Baseball Batman not working.  Between the two of us, we figured out the problem. :) Every game now works on the m92 driver.

A few bugs to track down yet, but all-in-all, it's pretty good. :D

@Kenshiro, yeah, the graphics have been a pain.  Multiple layers that can be multiple widths, that supports different scroll types, priorities, and multiple transparencies. On top of all that, the cpu modifies the layers as it is drawing them in some cases (nbbatman's title screen [the shadows on the bottom]), so you get some pretty interesting effects.

Wonderfull! For me it's a great news that the next version of FBA will support the M92 hardware (if I'm not wrong, the Irem M7x - M9x are the only coin-ops that use a NEC V30 (x86) as CPU).

I have a question: the M72 hardware is similar to M92 hardware, then do you think to transpose the M72 driver too?

Thanks again for your work! :)

Yeah, I plan on finishing the preliminary m90 driver that's already in fba, and then maybe m72 driver too... unless I get distracted.

Great! On M72 hardware it runs some very nice old arcade (like R-Type, Ninja Spirit, Legend of Hero Tonma, Hammering' Harry, etc.)...
Thanks for the answer!  :wink:

Yes, the NEC V30, an x86 CPU very similar to Intel 8086 ! ;)

The only remaining game to add is Major Title. :) Then I can start working on fixing bugs.
